ChangeNOW is an international event to boost the innovations that can have a positive impact on the world. This third edition will take place from 30 January to 1st February 2020 in Paris, at Grand Palais, the emblematic venue of the 1900 world expo.

It will bring together +1,000solutions and innovations from around the world to shape sustainable food systems, explore new models of education, build sustainable cities, promote behavioral change, generate sustainable energy, increase local resilience, and many more.

We are opening today a call for all local politicians of the European Covenant Community to participate in a Mayors’ delegation for the ChangeNOW International Summit and join a dedicated programme for cities and regions.

Mayors will have the opportunity to meet innovators in the field of energy, climate and environment, fellow politicians from all over the world, and to display their achievements in conference sessions on urban biodiversity, smart cities and mobility. In 2018, around 15 mayors and city representatives from the European Covenant of Mayors attended ChangeNOW.

This call is opening to all EU elected city representatives of the European Covenant of Mayors Community. Selected local politicians will have their entrance fees to the conference covered. Travel costs will be at participants’ own costs.

Members of the delegation will be selected based on municipalities’ size and geographical balance.
